I don't know if you want games for adults or kids, so sorry if this one seems babyish but my little ones like it. It's basically a game of pin the tail on the donkey but I use a cardboard skeleton and a lump of blu-tack. Each child has to be blindfolded and is given a different body part to aim for. (Just thinking about that has made me realise the game could be used for adults!!!!)

Mummy-wrap, (use toilet roll and have a competition to see who can wrap their partner up the best in 1 minute)
Guess the food (food is hidden from view, guests must decide what it is they are feeling)
Lucky dip (find coins/treats in a tub of green wallpaper paste -a bit messy I suppose)
dough-nut catching (hang doughnuts from the ceiling with string. Guests have to eat them with their hands tied behind their backs, sometimes with blindfolds)
Then there's always good old scary-story telling!

we did a similar one to pin the body part on the skeleton of pin the tail on the black cat, feely box (gross feeling things in a box with a hand-hole, people have to guess what it is) tie a pen/pencil to a piece of suitable-length string and tie the other end to a peg, peg it to someones back, they now have to get the pen/pencil into a bottle which is behind them without using their hands (not rly halloween but v v funny!) another non-halloween one---two people, two empty cereal boxes with the flaps cut off on the floor, each person has to pick up their cereal box with their teeth, not letting their hands touch or knees touch the floor, after each succesful picking up of the cereal box cut a thin strip off the top so that the cereal boxes get smaller and smaller the one who gets lowest down wins

We used to play Hallowe'en Charades at a party every year. Each person has about three minutes to mime something to their team and all the subjects have a Hallowe'en theme. They can be spooky films, books, places, characters etc. If the team doesn't guess in time, then the opponents have the chance to guess the answer - points are awarded and prizes distributed at the end.

Another game needed a large pad of paper and a felt pen/ chalk and blackboard. Firstly, the names of spooky/Hallowe'en subjects were written on pieces of paper which were then put into a hat. Each team member would then take a name which they couldn't show to anyone. Thjey would then have about three minutes to draw their subject film/book title etc on the board before the other team got a guess. They couldn't speak - only draw. Points and prizes too.

We also did the Pin the Tail on the Witch's Cat mentioned above as well as have a fancy dress competition. That was strung out with each participant appearing by themselves in front of three judges who they then had to scare in whatever way they could. Points and prizes were then awarded for scare value and costumes.

We also did a variation on the apple theme. Each apple is threaded on a string and then held up by someone standing high. Each guest then attempts to take a bite out of an apple and prizes are given to whoever does. That usually ends with someone being declared the biggest mouth at the party!

We did this with a lot of middle-aged adults at a day centre and it was good fun. The games can also be easily adapted for all ages. Hope that gives you some ideas Tinkerbells. Have a good one!
